Lyndhurst to slice 20 jobs

Saddled with a stagnant tax base, lost tax revenue and budget constraints, the township will cut 20 jobs — or 11.1 percent — of its 180 full-time positions.

Town officials told about 50 residents — including municipal employees — about the decision last week as township officials sorted out its estimated $34.2 million municipal budget for 2011, a $1.36 million reduction from last year.
